PREFACE, ^l^ 

{*} HE CABINET was organized in 1838 and first recognized in an 
i appropriation made by Congress, March 3, 1839. This appropri- 

Q j I ation was ' ' for specimens of ores and coins to be reserved at the 
Mint," and has been continued through subsequent years to the present 
time. At first United States coins were preserved from year to year by 
Mr. Adam Eckfeldt, together with some foreign coins which were re- 
ceived as deposits and withheld from the melting pot. 

In i860 a descriptive catalogue, entitled "Coins of All Nations," was 
published under the auspices of the Director of the Mint, Hon. James Ross 
Snowden, and prepared by Mr. George Bull, who was in charge of the 
Cabinet. He received valuable advice and assistance from Mr. William 
E. Dubois, who was at that time Assistant Assayer and Curator of the 
Cabinet. It was and is a very valuable work, but so costly that very few 
were sold to the many thousand visitors. Many coins and medals have 
been added since i860, and in their ^election and purchase their histori- 
cal interest has been considered" of : most importance. The coins of all 
countries, ancient and modern, are arranged chronologically, and num- 
bered in their respective cases. By the assistance of this publication, 
which gives the numbers that include the different countries, biographi- 
cal and geographical indexes, the value of foreign coins, and other mat- 
ters relating to coins, it is thought the interest of the visitor will be much 
increased. Coins and medals are historically of great value as the indices 
of progress in science and art.

No . GREEK REPUBLICS. 

j -1410". Coins of the Greek Republics. 
B. C. 700-300. Representing the coin- 
age of eighty -five different cities and 
colonies. The highest point of excel- 
lence in the art of engraving or die 
sinking, either in ancient or modern 
times, was about the time of the fourth 
century before Christ. The coins gen- 
erally reflect the art of the period and 
the places from which they were issued. 
It was considered sacrilege for any hu- 
man head to be on a coin, and the main 
object of the coin-type or obverse, was 
to place before the people an ideal rep- 
resentation of the divinity most hon- 
ored in the district in which the coin 
was destined to circulate. The head of 

% Alexander the Great was the first to 
appear on a coin, as son of Zeus Am- 
nion, and, as one after another of his 
generals assumed the title of King, 
each in turn was emboldened to place 
his own portrait on his money.

CASK II. 

Upper Section. 

ROMAN EMPIRE. 

The principal Roman coin was the de- 
narius; weight about 60 grains, value 
near 16 cents. The denarius gradually 
decreased in weight and fineness, until 
about the time of Elagabalus it was worth 
not more than six cents. From the dena- 
rius we ascertain the value of the inferior 
coins. It was worth 10 asses and after- 
wards 16 asses, and equal to 4 sester- 
tia and 2 quinari. The denarius is 
supposed to be the origin of the British 
penny. 

The aureus, or gold coin, was double 
the weight of the denarius, and under the 
first emperors was worth about $5 ; it also 
decreased in value. In the time of the 
sons of Constantine it was w r orth about 
$3, and continued at that for eight or 
nine centuries. The gold solidus of the 
Byzantine Empire was the currency of all 
Europe in the Middle Ages, and is often 
met with in histories of those times.

IDENTIFICATION OF COINS. 

The obverse of coins usually bears the head or bust of the ruler, with his or her 
name and title, if of a monarchy ; or a figure or emblem of liberty, if of a republic. 
The name of the country and date is usually on the obverse side. 

The reverse usually bears the national or royal coat of arms, and the denomina- 
tion of the coin. The name of the country is often given in Latin, and someiimes 
abbreviated, as follows : 

OESTEREICH (Austria). Bayern (Bavaria). Cambodge (Cambodia). Daniae, 
Dansk (Denmark). BEIGES (Belgium). Bras. (Brazil). Francaise (France). 
BriTanniarum (Great Britain). DEuTCHES Reich (Germany). Hamb. (Hamburg). 
D'ITaua (Italy). NorGES (Norway). NethERI,anden (Netherlands). NOREM 
(Nuremburg). Peruana (Peru). Portug. (Portugal). PreuSSEn (Prussia). Bspana 
(Spain). Sachsen, Sachs (Saxony). Sueriges (Sweden). Helvetia (Switzer- 
land). 

MINERALS. 

The mineralogical Cabinet embraces several hundred specimens. Among those 
of interest to visitors are : 

A fac-simile of a nugget of gold from Australia ; the value of the original was 
about $23,000. 

A speck of gold, extracted from 5 ozs. of lead ore ; it represents one part in 
6,220,000 parts. The speck is so minute, that it would require several hundreds of 
them to make a cent's worth of gold. It is curious as a specimen of minute assaying. 

A number of rare specimens of gold, silver and copper of peculiar shape. 

A vivianite, or phosphate of iron, the largest specimen known. 

An agate geode, from Oberstein, on the Rhine, which, being cut in half, exhibits 
the curious structure of such geodes. And many more interesting specimens, which, 
for want of space, we cannot enumerate.
